A New Profession.

From all portions of the country, but
especially from the South, there comes
a demand for men of scientific training
and practical experience to manage
farms. Capitalists engaged in other
branches of business are owners of
farms and country seats which they
have neither the leisure nor the knowl-
edge to cultivate at a profit. Fancy
farming for mere occupation, involving
wasteful expenditure of money, is at
discount. Even men of the amplest
means are anxious to have their anna
teur agriculture prove a financial sue
cess. To realize such aspirations, q
class OF men of specific qualifications is
now called for.
To the young men new studying with
proper zeal and energy in our agricult-
ural colleges this demand opens a
brilliant prospect. those of them who
have the requisite capital will, of course,
own and work their own farms; but
there are others, without farms and
without capital, who can exercise their
scientific and economic skill only in
combination with the farms and capital
of others. With such as these the
non-professional landholders will be
we'll satisfied to share the profit of
farming enterprise.
1t is healthful sign of the times that
our large estates, especially in the
South, are in process of subdivision.
Let the good work go on until the mass
of the farming interest is in the hands
of small proprietors, true yeomanry,
working their own patrimony, and cher
ishing those ideas and habits of indie
pendent manhood which are essential
to'true manhood. But when this sub
division shall have attained its full
legitimate development, there will be
still wide scope for farming on q large
scale, requiring men of specific agri-
cultural training for their management.
The young men without capital now
studying scientific agriculture, if found
possessed of these qualifca tons, will
find noble and lucrative sphere of ac-
tivity. CLltivdtor.

A Lively Bullock Race.

Jeypore is typical Hindoo city in
almost every respect. The Raiah is q
Hindoo, and the great mass of the peo-
pie are Hindoos, writes correspond
ent. No foreigners live or do business
within the city walls. The city gates
are closed at o'clock at night, and no
one can either leave or enter it after | /
o'clock without q permit from the RAJ
iah. AS we drove along we were par.
ticularly struck by the great number
of white bulls in the street and one on
the sidewalk. These bulls are so cared
for and petted as to be as mild-manner-
ed as cows.
1t was on this street that we first
saw trotting bullocks. They are white
in color, of large size and with immense
curved horns, which are generally
painted deep green. II. is curiou:

Just what is meant by the term
"being trained for motherhood" or
why this training should be designated
as "one of the two great channels OF
expenditure of physiological force,'
lind myself unable to understand. But
1t may safely be asserted that any
training which exhausts without more
than correspondingly strengthening q
part, no matter where applied. or for
what purpose, should straightway be
condemned. The competition" and
the terrible strain" theories seem to
me to have but little foundation. In
my university life saw nothing to
confirm them. The work was pleasant
and inspiring, and L am sure 1 can
safely say that for the most part We
enjoyed it. We did not trouble our
selves about the relative weight of our
4 brains, and, as in the district school or
the high school, so here, it mat.ered
little whether it was Jane or John who
stood best; and it was quite as likely
to be Jane as John.
As recall the animated faces, the
healthy bloom and high spirits of the
young women, fail to find any ground
for the assumption that their work was
In any sense done at the expense Of
their vitality. On the contrary, L
know that IN many cases there was
decided improvement in health from
the beginning to the end of the course.
All this -talked-of "physio-
logical expenditure" is a myth. The
intellect is quickened and strengthened
by proper use, not at the expense Of
any other organ, but in and of itself.
1t is with this as with the muscles |;
strength comes with use. The fault
has lain, not in the training of one set
of organs, but in the neglect of others.
The balance of health has thus been
lost, and all parts have suffered in
unison. To correct this, to establish an
harmonious development of mind and
body, Is what true higher education
aims to accomplish; and in doing this
1t is striking at the very root of woman's
disabilities.
Seeing daily, as do, young women
In college in far better health than
young women in society, or living in
pampered idleness at home; seeing
were as freshmen; knowing that my
records tell me that they average a
smaller number of excuses because of
illness than do those of the mems col
leges with which I am able to COM
pare data, and knowing from stats
teal evidence that woman college
graduates enjoy sum total of 20 per
cent. better health than the average
woman, how can l conclude otherwise
than that college work per Sc is not
injurious to health, nor incompatible
with the best good of the sex and the
race ?-Dr. L1tcy II. Hall, IN Popular

Saved at the Altar.

The beautiful young girl had plighted
her love, and was at the altar ready to
give her heart and hand to the man
who would have destroyed her very
life. The moment when she is to say
those, to her, fatal words is fast APP
preaching, when fate steps in and saves
her.

Revenge Is Sweet.

A Pittsburgh drummer tells of a
colleague of his who took some Boston
baked beans in a restaurant during his
last visit to the Hub. The bill-of-fare
quoted beans at 20 cents, but when our
drummer asked for the check it read
40 cents"
"Say, this is wrong" said he to the
cashier.
"What did you have?"
"Order of BEANS"
"That's CORE t, sir. Forty cents"
"But the bill-of-fare says twenty"
"Well, the bill-of-fare is wrong.
The Pittsburgher paid 40 cents.
Then he made memorandum of the
restaurant address.
A few days later he was in New
York, and he remembered the beans.
Then he went to the telegraph office
and wired the following message to the
restaurant:
Don't you think 40 cents too much
for the beans?"
He marked it collect. "-PittSb1trgh

From Boston.

One Of the most eminent physicians in Bos-
ton gives his opinion that the extent OF the
Moxie Nerve Food plant now no rapidly sub
shutting stimulants and recovering the ner-
vous women, will probably become one of the
great trade staples of the country, because its
place cannot lie filed. Most OF the dealers 80
consider it now, and even the grocers deliver
it TO their customers as they do eatab.es
When we consider il has been on the market
but fourteen months and that it can now be
found in almost any part of the country and
that the7company are selling it at the rate OF
200, 600 bottles per year, it must have most
marvellous power over the people.

Sues " Mysteries Of Paris. -

Some curious "reminiscences are
evoked by the revival of Eugene Sues
mysteries of Paris" at q boulevard
theater. The tale first appeared as a
feuilletO7t in the grave, then official,
! Jos.r'agl des Debats. The sale of the
paper was enormous while the myster-
les were being doled out in daily drib-
lets to q crowd of Gbonnes and promis-
cuous readers, who focked around the
Offices every morning loudly clamoring
for number. In the country the lum-
boring old diligences were besieged on
their arrival III the market-places, and
the provincials who, being subscribers,
received the journal first, were pes
tered by people who wanted to know
how the story was going on, what had
become of Fleur de Marie, and wheth-
er Rigolette was safe. The Debdts
was gravely censured at the time by
the powers that were, for it was con-
Atended that if the hideous misery and
horrible criminality depicted by the
popular novelist of the period had ex-
istence in fact the story implied q
blame on the Government for neglect
ing their duty in not stamping them
out. The proprietors of the newspa-
per, however, who were netting gol-
den profit by the adventures of Fleur
de Marie and her compeers, calmly
went on their way without needing the
official murmurs of discomfort. The
attention which in the days of Sue was
given to one or two of the accredited
story-tellers il now lavished on dozen.

How TO SIeep.

A physician, referring to the custom
of travelling on sleeping-cars with the
berths made up with their heads to-
ward the engine, said: 1T is certainly
bad for the brain of the sleeper, as it is
not natural, and it is no wonder that so
many travellers, especially those who
have been on the road extensively, ex-
perience bad effects from it."

MosT of the superstitions about the
moon come to us from old English,
Scottish, and Irish sources. In Devon
shire, England, it is lucky to see the
new moon over the right shoulder, but
to see it straight before is good fortune
to the end of the month. In Renfrew-
shire, if a mans house be burned dur
ing the wane of the moon it is unlucky,
but if the moon is waxing it is lucky.
To have money, particularly gold or
silver, in your pocket at that time is q
token of good fortune, but to be with
out it is very bad omen. In Orkney
1t is considered very unlucky to fit or
move from one place to another during
the waning of the moon. Old people
in some parts of Argyllshiro are wont
to invoke the divine blessing on the
moon after the monthly change. The
Gaelic word for fortune is derived
from that denoting full moon, and a
marriage or birth occurring at that
period is believed TO augur prosperity.

Railway, of England, gave indications
of life of twenty to twenty-five years,
whereas the wooden ties last but twelve

doubtful, however, as the steel ties

thus far confined to India, where wood
